Brad Whitford says he is not sure if Aerosmith will be able to tour anymore:
“The European tour – they tried to plan one last year, and they’re talking about next year. It’s a pipe dream right now… Nothing’s gonna happen for a long time. Sometimes I’m not sure what my partners are thinking when they think that’s gonna happen…”
“And there’s another interesting thing about going to Europe now because of Brexit. It’s so much harder to get work visas because of that, so that’s gonna be a whole other nightmare. I mean… I have my doubts about Aerosmith ever really performing again at this stage because age is becoming a real factor… It is what it is.”
